Our take

Set in Belo Horizonte, Marília Rocha’s film flows between fiction and documentary to follow two young women played by non-professionals actresses. Through the subtle unfolding of the everyday, the indecisions of early adulthood and the nuances of friendship are portrayed with refreshing naturalism.
